I’m so excited for you! 😄

@DanaNM

Thank you!

Okie dokie! Her box habits have improved a ton since her spay the rescue said. Only a bit of poops out of the box. I of course don’t expect her to be perfect at first.

Ill definitely supervise closely at first to make sure everything is safe for her.

She actually already has a name. Her name is Esther. I was c…[Read more]

What types of spaces do you have available to marathon? I def think you should at least do an overnight or two in the neutral space you’ve been working in before you move them to their permanent home. Maybe you could get a piece of scrap linoleum as the flooring?

@NoodletheRabbit

Thank you!

@borya01

Thanks! I’ll definitely make sure we go at  her pace. Definitely wouldn’t want to rush her.

Thanks for the list! I’ve actually printed out a couple I’ve found just to make life easier.

Those types of pellets are actually what I was planning on using and that’s also what the rescue uses.

Date 6 +

Took the plunge and started marathoning them about an hour and a half ago! I have set up a large area (2 xpens linked up) in my friend’s garage, lined with pee pads and a bunch of hay.

The rode over together in the car in a bin. They were NOT happy about it but got along with each other.

So far things are going OK? Some nipping and…[Read more]

I’m very sorry for your loss. 🙁 Some of his behavior might be grieving, so keep that in mind. I have heard stories of cases like yours where the more human-focused bun passes, and the other bun actually ends up bonding more closely with the human since the other bun is gone.

I think since he is sensitive about hands, I would do a lot of hand…[Read more]

WOOHOO! 😀 I have the jitters for you! So exciting! YAY! 🙂

I love that name, Dana! 🙂  Hmmm, for some more how about Molly, Maple, Calico, Annie, Minnie, or Holly?

When you get her, you’ll post more pictures, right? 😛 She is beautiful!

By all accounts rabbits should be pretty gross little creatures (eating poop, drinking pee, sleeping in their litter boxes, eating while they poop), but somehow they aren’t at all! LOL

Can you post a picture of her poops?  When you break them open, do they have lots of chewed up hay inside?

I would be inclined to slowly reintroduce certain greens and see if that helps (while still having high hay intake), rather than increasing pellets. Fur is really what helps buns stay warm, extra body fat just puts extra strain on their…[Read more]

That’s so wonderful! Congrats!

Aside from the basics which I’m sure you’ve read about, I think the main things with new buns are what bunny proofing you missed (lol), how their box habits are, and how outgoing they are right off the bat. Sounds like your girl is pretty outgoing, so she might want lots of pets right away, but if not don’t worry…[Read more]

Happy Friday everyone (or weekend if you are already at Saturday)

Hey, I want to congratulate you. I am by no means an expert with buns, in fact I know very little. But I wanted to say just maybe don’t rush your bun. Give him (or her 🙂 their space and let them come to you. Because I know you might be eager to bond, and hopefully they bond with you very quickly 🙂 But don’t rush it and let the bun go at their…[Read more]

Congrats @ Bu20055!! Then we can have more photos once she is home with you!!

Do you have a name picked out for her yet?

Hopefully this isn’t too jumbled, trying to make sure I include all information I was given.

I brought Karou to the vet in June since she’d been acting a bit off and had a tender stomach and wanted her checked out. She’d been drinking about 30 oz of water a day. The vet checked her over and said she noticed symptoms of a UTI and prescribed TMS…[Read more]

That’s so exciting!!! Hope all goes well, and remember to give your bun lots of love and care 🙂 <3

@Moonlightbunny66

Thank you! The rescue contacted us saying we could pick her up tonight! I’m so excited but at the same time soooo nervous!

A lot of rabbit owners are proponents of the Tractor Supply wood stove pellets… including me, as I have roughly 80lbs of it sitting in my clothing closet? Haha. I have had positive experiences with it. It has a slight odor when it’s been saturated… like a wood smell?.. but it’s not a bad smell and it doesn’t travel outside the box. In terms of…[Read more]

Thank you! I will see how they do with the possible ear mites then. They were the vet in town that we could find that does small animals. For the annual check ups I’ll have to look into the vets that are further away.
